Hi
I had some fry in the two years ago. Some of them changed colour within a
few weeks, shubunkins first, then goldfish. But two goldfish were still
brown this year. I put them inside in a tropical tank that didnt have many
in and looked empty, and within a few weeks of going in, they had both
turned gold. I don't know whether it was the warm water that helped them
change, or just coincidence.

I have a koi pond containing about 16 koi and also have 9 goldfish.
Thre are also 7 "babies". I am assuming that they are goldfish babies
because they have no barbels. They are about 11 months old, 1-1/5"
long and black. I know a bit about koi but my knowledge of goldfish is
zilch!

Are these babies likely to turn gold and if so at what sort of
age/size?

Any ideas anyone?
